Beautiful Comet C/2021 A1 Leonard.

[Andywilliams]

Captured 26/12/2021 from my house in New Zealand.
This wonderful comet is still putting on quite a show !
canon 6d, canon 75-300mm stock zoom lens.
widefield shot @ 135mm and closer shot is @ 300mm
10X 20 and 30 seconds respectively plus calibration frames, @ iso 6200 on a star adventurer Mount.
I remain totally impressed with this mount. Clouds obscured sigma octans so I did a guestimate polar alignment and it tracked beautifully.

Captured using backyard eos and processed in Pixinsight.

Love the second one.

beautiful set of images, not sure if the clouds ever clear in the UK whether we can still see it low down after sunset.

Wonderful. Especially nice to see B&W negative detail

Lovely images 👍 I've not had the weather to see it myself so it's nice to see other people's images.

That looks great. The tail is not very uniform in the 135mm shot as if a 'smaller' piece of the comet has broken and following from behind.

It’s a disconnection event.

A change in the direction of the solar wind moves the apparent direction of the tail 👍
